Deaf-Led British Sign Language (BSL) Tour: Ocean Photographer of the Year
05 Jun 2026
Step into a world of colour, movement and life beneath the waves with our latest temporary exhibition, Ocean Photographer of the Year. Experience a breathtaking collection of award-winning images celebrating the beauty and fragility of our blue planet.
The exhibition includes audio description of selected works and specially created three-dimensional images that can be explored through touch.
To mark World Oceans Day 2026, we’re delighted to offer a deaf-led tour of the exhibition with BSL guide John Wilson, creating a shared space to explore these powerful images through British Sign Language.
Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, we are able to offer this tour on a complimentary basis.
